CeDeFi - An Emerging Opportunity
summary
Sygnum outlines a pathway for institutional DeFi by combining regulated banking services with proven DeFi rails: regulated custody, staking, spot and derivatives, loans including hash-rate-backed loans, tokenized real world assets and an institutional NFT platform. Regulators currently block direct interaction with public pools so the proposal is permissioned CDfI using a fork of Aave and projects like Project Guardian (DBS, JP Morgan, Onyx, Oliver Wyman, MAS, SBI) prove a regulator‑involved design. Key hurdles are KYC/AML, data privacy, smart contract governance, legal enforceability and recourse.
